I don't really know what to say because I hated it when my former T went on vacation. Sometimes we had contact and sometimes not, it just depended on whether or not she stayed in the country, and when we didn't it was horrible even though I knew she needed the time.


It is really awful that you didn't get any notice. I can imagine that makes it even harder because there was no time to prepare. Its hard to think this, but I really don't think your T will forget you. It sounds like your T tried to show you a lot of care even though it was no notice.


Two weeks is also a long time. I know when my T would go out of the country and it was typically three weeks it was like an eternity. I could say its a great time to practice all the skills you are learning in therapy but I used to hate when people would tell me that because so much of therapy is about the relationship and about the connection. To be cut off from that for two weeks is just really hard, plain and simple.


I hope you can talk here while your T is away and get some support. Good wishes to you.
Thanks for this!
